It is a gram-negative bacteria (does not retain the stain).
This bacteria infects the columnar epithelium of the urogenital sites<\/a>, such as the cervix, rectum, and urethra, and nongenital sites, such as the lungs and eyes in people.
The epithelium is a cell layer that forms the surface of the internal and external body, organs, and glands.<\/p>\n\n\n

Men having burning sensation <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt can cause inflammation of the tip of the penis and is referred<\/a> to as Balanitis.
Though Balanitis is not an<\/a> STD, it is a sign of infection in men.<\/p>\n\n\nDischarge from the penis<\/h4>\n\n\n
Men with infection has a discharge that may appear<\/a> mucus-like or clear with a watery consistency from the penis.

It may cause teary and painful eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n
Frequent and painful urination<\/h4>\n\n\n
It can cause<\/a> painful and frequent urination in people.
These symptoms may intertwine with UTI symptoms and thus need a proper diagnosis.
Further, it may also cause a burning and painful sensation<\/a> during urination.
It may be caused when urine comes in contact with the irritated muscles in the urethra that stimulate pain receptors and cause pain.<\/p>\n\n\nSymptoms of Chlamydia in women<\/h3>\n\n\n
Although 70% to 80%<\/a> of women infected with this STD are asymptomatic, some may notice a few symptoms.
The symptoms of this infection in women can incluir<\/a> the following:<\/p>\n\n\nAbnormal vaginal discharge with a distinct odor<\/h4>\n\n\n
According to NCBI, women infected with uncomplicated Chlamydia may have<\/a> mucus-like vaginal fluid secretion.
\u00c9l may vary<\/a> in color, such as white, grey, or yellow.
The released vaginal fluid may be present with a distinct odor or odorless.<\/p>\n\n\nVaginal bleeding in between periods<\/h4>\n\n\n
Sometimes, Chlamydia puede causar<\/a> bleeding from the vagina in women in between periods.
Chlamydia may also cause rectal (the lower part of the large intestine) bleeding, discharge, and pain.<\/p>\n\n\nIrregular menstrual cycle<\/h4>\n\n\n![\"menstrual](\"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/low-incontent1-1-1024x536.webp\")
Irregular menstrual cycle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs per NCBI, this STD is significantly<\/a> correlated with irregular menstruation in infertile women.
Further, it can also be associated with the history of previous abortions and hormonal and ovarian factors.<\/p>\n\n\nOtros s\u00edntomas<\/h4>\n\n\n
Some other symptoms in women may incluir<\/a> the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Itching in the genitals<\/li>\n\n\n\n

How do you get Chlamydia<\/h2>\n\n\n
According to a report, the infection-causing bacteria can spread<\/a> in the following ways from one person to another:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Vaginal sex<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anal sex<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Oral sex<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, it cannot<\/a> be transmitted through casual contact, such as holding hands, sharing foods or drinks, hugging, coughing, sneezing, and kissing.<\/p>\n\n\nHow to test for Chlamydia<\/h2>\n\n\n
People infected with this infection can consult a healthcare practitioner and get tests to detect the pathogen.
Each test looks for<\/a> the infection-causing pathogen in different body parts in the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\nUrine test<\/h3>\n\n\n![\"Contamination](\"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/urine-incontent-1024x536.webp\")
Urine test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA healthcare practitioner may recommend a urine test to diagnose this STD.
People with infection have to collect a urine sample in a sterile container to detect the bacteria further.
The test detects the bacterial DNA in the urine sample<\/a> and is called the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT).
For an accurate<\/a> result, the infected person should stop urinating for two hours before collecting the urine.<\/p>\n\n\nSwab test<\/h3>\n\n\n
In rare cases, a cell culture can also be done to detect Chlamydia infection.
A healthcare practitioner can collect<\/a> samples from the anus or throat, depending on the history of sexual intercourse.
Cells are then sent to the laboratory. If bacteria are present<\/a>, they will multiply in numbers and indicate the presence of infection.<\/p>\n\n\nChlamydia treatment options<\/h2>\n\n\n
Antibiotics play a pivotal<\/a> and successful role in treating the symptoms.
As bacteria cause Chlamydia, it can be treated with antibiotics.
Antibiotics can kill the infection-causing pathogen and treat the condition.
The two primary prescribed<\/a> antibiotics for this STD include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Azitromicina<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Doxycycline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
